Emerging markets are catching investors' attention. Here's why.

Global X ETFs senior portfolio manager and head of emerging markets strategy Malcolm Dorson joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into rising investor sentiment for emerging markets. "Emerging markets are getting to the point where valuations are just too compelling to ignore. We've now also seen a little bit of momentum being the second or third best performing asset class in the world year to date. And in addition to that, people are looking for different opportunities, whether it be alpha generation, portfolio diversification, or just plain old US dollar hedge, given the concentration of performance that we've seen in the US thus far this year," Dorson tells Yahoo Finance.

Emerging markets face 7-week low amid global elections

Emerging markets (MME=F) are in the spotlight as they brace for their steepest decline in seven weeks as several national elections unfold globally. Pictet Asset Management Chief Economist Patrick Zweifel joins the Morning Brief to share his outlook on this development. Zweifel notes that markets tend to "focus less on the immediate implications of the elections and more on the underlying fundamentals," assessing how election outcomes will shape the broader economic landscape. Turning to India, where markets lost $386 billion in value following the national election results, Zweifel deems this reaction as "overdone" for three key reasons: first, "game-changing policies" were implemented under previous government coalitions; second, India's "very federal structure" mitigates the impact of a single election; and third, Prime Minister Modi has "been personally committed" to fiscal gains. On the global inflation front, Zweifel explains, "I think we do have a much bigger force at work, which is the globalization of services taking place."
